That's a stupid comparison because vehicles aren't made for the sole purpose of killing humans.

Reading comprehension is still a problem. Apparently geography is, too.

That fact that there is a Texas, MD must really confuse you.

I'll bet if you polled 50 people on this board and without them looking at Google or a map, very few would know there is a Philadelphia, Mississippi.

Ever heard of Susan Smith?

Everything has its price in this World :2 cents:

Good summation and shows how pointless it is for those outside the US to complain. The guns are here. They are part of our culture. Violence is part of our culture. It's foolish to think anything will change.

And neither are guns.

in case it is - nice try..

It makes more sense than taking everybody's gun away.
Newsflash! I don't care how many laws you pass how many cops you put on the street the criminals are still going to have guns.

Ban all cell phones, because texting and driving kills people

You mean to tell me there are kids dying of starvation in Africa?
Why do we not see them on TV anymore. During the 1980s that was a daily thing.

I'm a thousand times more afraid of being killed by someone texting than by a firearm.

I think you're onto something here.
According to the CDC here are some statistics.

In 2009, more than 5,400 people died in crashes that were reported to involve a distracted driver and about 448,000 people were injured.1

Among those killed or injured in these crashes, nearly 1,000 deaths and 24,000 injuries included cell phone use as the major distraction.1

The proportion of drivers reportedly distracted at the time of a fatal crash has increased from 7 percent in 2005 to 11 percent in 2009.1.

uh guns are weapons. If you are careless with a vehicle there should be harsh punishments. :2 cents:

They probably wouldn't but I would hope that after they read that article they would realize it was not PA.

Since when is Philly rural? Or known for their tribal land? Or how about the first few words in the article itself?

You're really reaching all the way back to Susan Smith? Wasn't that like 20 years ago?

Were they drinking? That would be a good reason for a new "Prohibition" :upsidedow

The reality is that the Porsche 911 Turbo, BMW M3, and vehicles like these are orders of magnitude safer than the Toyota Prius or Honda Civic. Know why? They have 10+ inch wide tires, independent front and rear suspension, and brakes that are the size of manhole covers.

When a vehicle is built for speed, it is built for literally ANY situation you can throw at it on the road.

And your analogy is not a good one for this debate, because performance vehicles are built with the express purpose of safe and efficient travel, not to splatter maximum brain matter on the wall.

Travel = reasonable

Bullets spraying brain matter on walls = unreasonable

And technically guns don't kill, bullets do.

Right. And if they were so great, where the fuck are the jobs they were supposed to create?

Right. A rational discussion about common sense gun regulation is usually hard to have. Many people make massive leaps of reason.

You say that as if all killing is a bad thing.
